it's funny...i have an ear for music, but no technical skills with which to jump in and start jamming intensely...i wish i did, but i'll just whistle. or rock out on my xylophone. but here i am, loving music SO much; love making it myself, but also rejoicing in someone else's music that's a gift to God----AAAAAAAAHH LW was SO good last night: really good music (skills and practice haha--not just loud or favourite songs) but this is true also---waaaay too many songs to sing in one evening, to focus on in one long worship session, but so good. so incredibly good.
the speaker, paul martin (haha) talked about the heart's approach to God in worship. he talked about the 'worship wars' we find ourselves involved in, and how we need to look at the bible to find out how God wants to be worshipped, and make sure you're worshiping. stop fighting over HOW that's done. psalmist in psalm 84 summarizes worship like this: a true worshiper longs for God, regardless of circumstances, more than anything else. with all of your heart, and in all of His truth. and i'd have to say that i'm a little slow on this...but when i have music--singing---glorious noise---that's when i feel the most worshipful, and i want it SO much. it's like...can't get enough of it. is that a God moment? sometimes prayer and bible reading seem cheesy...but music? like i can give it my all. no matter how offtune i am.
this means that prayer and bible reading fall by the wayside---something to work on, after all this musical revelation starts taking effect...
i don't wanna work...
